</div>I don't think this is possible, because these virtual address ranges<br>
are handled by the kernel VMA system and are allocated dynamically, so<br>
that is not just a bitmask or something to change.<br>

<br>
</div>You could change PAGE_OFFSET. From [1]:<br>
<br>
<br>
PHYS_OFFSET<br>
Physical start address of the first bank of RAM.<br>
<br>
PAGE_OFFSET<br>
Virtual start address of the first bank of RAM. During the kernel<br>
boot phase, virtual address PAGE_OFFSET will be mapped to physical<br>
address PHYS_OFFSET, along with any other mappings you supply.<br>
This should be the same value as TASK_SIZE.<br>
<br>
<br>
But I'm curious: Why do you want to change it?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> Just wanted to have a constant mapping from PA to VA of devices and wanted to have a separate region for vmalloc. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<br> 1. Low mem region - which is already fixed by the kernel based on the memory size. <br> 2. Vmalloc region which can be fixed as per your previous mail<br> 3. Also have a fixed mapping of device physical address by <span> ioremap_page_range(...)<br>
<br> I think I got what I needed. Thank you all very much for your valuable time. <br></span></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
